Abstract
User authentication is an extremely important process in many applications and industries. Because of its importance, most security-sensitive user authentication processes employ an automatic multi-factor authentication process that involves confirming a SMS message, answering a security question, entering a PIN, etc. However, even these auto multi-factor authentication processes are vulnerable to attack and hack. For example, some facial recognition authentication processes can be defeated using a picture. Voice print can also be duplicated using a previous recording of the user's voice. As such, most financial institutions employ some form of human involvement (on top of multi-factor authentication) to authenticate a user for high security sensitive situations. The cost for performing authentication with human involvement can be very expensive. Accordingly, what is needed is an automatic multi-factor authentication process that is less prone to hack and workaround such as using a picture to defeat facial recognition processes.
